Fabrica de la Luz (Wild Camping N2)

Day 209.

Onwards and upwards it was, literally, back in the car we headed up in search of those picturesque white hillside villages, and tapas, lots of tapas. Not sure we’ll be collecting our £1400 deposit back from the rental car with these roads, that’s if we don’t end up off one of these windy cliffs altogether anyway, limbsters constant gripping onto the dashboard doesn’t inspire confidence.

Oh did Tapas deliver, Wine 1 euro, Beer 1 Euro, Tapas 80 cents, safe to say we ate our way through as much chorizo, calamari and king prawns as possible that afternoon. Spanish menu fluency now much improved, at least we can eat.

Taking a punt on some online blogs we headed to Fabrica de la Luz national park, and struck gold. Perfect camping spot, fresh water and even a stream running through the mountainside. With now working stove it was hot food and tea at last - Pasta drenched in fresh pesto & olive oil was exactly what was needed. Tent efficiency is much improving, think we’ve nailed our roles & responsibilities, I reckon now sub 5 minutes.

Toe update - Condition has worsened, could be broken, worth noting I’m betting it’s not.Read more
